this is from 5 years ago, but catching up on all the threads reminded me of it.
At the time I was working in a UK video rental store with the same name as a 70s glam-rock hit.
The acting manager came out of the back room and quietly said "Bagga, come and have a look at this" So I went with him, and he rewound the security tape, and showed me this young guy and his girl bending down and looking at the bagged chocolates on the lower shelf of the display. He pointed, she picked up a big bag of M&Ms, and put them under her coat. They were both wearing jeans, but you cant hide a 400g bag of sweets in a jeans pocket. He waved his arm angrily, pointed again, and she put the M&Ms back, took a big bag of Revels, and put them under her coat. (A silly thing to do, M&Ms are much nicer)
*** Fanfare for a confrontation ***
We both march out front.
"Sir, would you mind returning those please"
"What?"
"The sweets you just stole"
"I haven't got any sweets!"
* cycle those 4 sentences 2 more times, with him removing his jacket, emptying his pockets, etc, you know the drill *
"Sir, we know you haven't got them, she has. Miss, please open your coat."
"She can't do that!"
"We want her to return the chocolates you two have stolen. They are in her coat."
"SHE CAN'T DO THAT" (At this point, she is looking very scared and embarassed)
"Why not? We just want her to prove that she hasn't got any chocolates hidden in there"
"Erm. Well, were in bed, (she went even redder) and we decided we wanted to watch a video (redder still) so we jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes and came here to get a video. She's only wearing a coat." (Me and AM get that 'hurr hurr' grin on our faces, and she goes so red that I am sure she was radiating infra red rays)
At this point AM realises that the Revels will have melted by now, it's been 5 minutes of arguing, with chocolates hugged to her chest, clothed or otherwise.
"Oh get out or I will call the cops"
On their way out we hear...
Him "Huh, I'm never coming back here again!" (GOOD!)
Her "You bastard, why did you have to say that?" (True or not, sem-naked or not, they didn't get a video, be it Disney or porn, and I hope she ate all the chocolates and made him sleep on the floor)
